B2B lighting for retailers and distributors involves more than a product catalogue and a price list. For regular professional business, product range, technical files, available quantities, lead times, logistics and the ability to adapt standard products to individual projects all matter. Polaris Lighting combines its own production, stock availability, technical documentation and delivery capabilities for partners in Bulgaria and across Europe.

B2B lighting for retailers and distributors with a proprietary product range

Polaris Lighting has approximately 700 core proprietary models. With variations in dimensions, colours, colour temperatures and other parameters, the range expands to approximately 3,000 product configurations. This is separate from the international lighting brands represented in the company's wider portfolio.

Proprietary product categories include magnetic systems, linear solutions, aluminium profiles, technical lighting and selected decorative luminaires. For retailers, this creates the possibility of combining standard products with solutions adapted to a specific project.

Why product configurations matter in B2B sales

One model does not necessarily represent one single product specification. A professional project may require a different colour temperature, dimension, finish, mounting method, optic or control option.

The exact configuration should therefore be confirmed before a project quotation is finalised. This reduces the risk of supplying a product that looks similar in a catalogue but does not match the technical requirements of the project.

LDT, IES, BIM and 3D files for professional projects

Technical documentation is an important part of professional lighting supply. LDT and IES photometric files, together with BIM and 3D documentation, are available for the main Polaris Lighting models.

LDT and IES files describe the light distribution of a specific luminaire and allow it to be used in professional lighting calculation software. BIM and 3D models support integration into architectural, engineering and visualisation workflows.

This is particularly useful for distributors working with architects, lighting designers, electrical contractors and construction companies. Instead of providing only a catalogue page, they can supply the technical data required for actual project development.

How B2B and project terms are determined

A B2B quotation is not based only on a single retail price. Polaris Lighting prepares individual terms according to the selected products, quantities and purchasing frequency.

Depending on the partnership, project discounts, quotations for larger quantities, conditions linked to annual purchasing volume and deferred payment for approved partners may be available.

A quotation request can be based on a project, bill of quantities, product list or approximate quantities. The products are then checked and the quotation includes specific information on pricing, available quantities and expected lead times.

Stock should be checked before confirming delivery to the customer

For larger orders, the fact that a product appears in a catalogue is not enough. The distributor needs to know how many units are currently available, the lead time for additional quantities and whether all required configurations can be supplied within the project schedule.

Polaris Lighting's main stock holdings are located in Varna and Sofia, and many products are maintained in stock in Bulgaria. Available quantities and expected delivery times are checked as part of the quotation process.

Managing larger quantities

A large order may involve dozens or hundreds of units of one model, but many professional projects consist of multiple product types for different areas. Quantities should therefore be considered as part of the complete project rather than simply as separate product codes.

Alternative models can be proposed where a particular item does not meet the required lead time, budget or quantity. Any alternative should be checked against the required technical parameters rather than selected only for a similar appearance.

Custom sizes for projects beyond standard catalogue dimensions

Polaris Lighting's own production enables the development of linear systems, aluminium profiles, selected decorative luminaires and individual configurations based on specific dimensions and project requirements.

This is particularly relevant where a linear luminaire must follow a defined architectural dimension, module or furniture layout. Dimensions, configuration, installation details and other technical parameters are confirmed before production.

For distributors, this capability makes it possible to respond to projects where a standard catalogue size cannot solve the design requirement.

Deliveries across Bulgaria and Europe

Orders can be organised for delivery to an office, warehouse or directly to the project site. Polaris Lighting also offers delivery with its own transport for B2B customers according to the specific project and destination.

The company has completed deliveries to approximately 40 European countries, primarily involving its own products. For international orders, quantities, packaging, destination, lead time and logistics conditions should be confirmed in advance.

What is needed for a specific B2B quotation?

The more precise the enquiry, the more specific the quotation can be. Useful information includes:

  • product list or required product categories;
  • quantities;
  • exact configurations and dimensions where known;
  • project drawings or bill of quantities;
  • required delivery date;
  • country and delivery location;
  • requirements for LDT, IES, BIM or 3D files;
  • requirements for custom production.

Polaris Lighting provides B2B partnership opportunities for retailers and distributors, including proprietary models and configurations, technical documentation, project terms, stock checks, custom-size production and deliveries across Bulgaria and Europe.
